No Country for Old Men

The Coen brothers are back on form with a vengeance, with the best film I’ve seen in years. There’s so much to enjoy on so many levels, from the set up that quickly establishes a cast of what feel like real living breathing characters, to the heart-pounding chase that takes up much of the film, right through to the final scenes which lend this Texan thriller an existential edge – leaving you with as many questions as answers.

The icing on the cake is Javier Bardem’s performance as Chigurh, a relentless hit-man with a habit of deciding your fate with a coin toss that’s as disturbing as his haircut. Call it... friend-o!
